Prime Minister Clarifies Statement on Minors

Statement by Prime Minister Allen Chastanet: “Parenting is by no means an unfettered right. Parenting carries significant legal responsibilities. Parental responsibility statutes have been in effect in the United States for at least 100 years. Such is the case also in the UK.

“Most parental responsibility statutes punish parents for what they have not done rather than for what they have done. Since my statement last week many have sought to criticize me for what obviously was a misstatement. I misspoke when I stated that young pregnant mothers would be prosecuted. These are the victims and they would not be victimized further by facing prosecution. I should have stated that the parents of minors who get into that kind of trouble will be held legally responsible as well as others who are involved in illegalities involving underage individuals.

“Our hospitals, as with hospitals in most other countries, have a legal responsibility to report illegal sexual activity involving individuals below the age of consent. We must enforce and ensure these organizations are meeting those obligations.

“Too many of our young people in trouble are ignored until they have committed heinous crimes and are in the headlines.”

The majority of parents are no role models for their children, they are poison.They dont even know wheretheir children ate at night muchless daytime.The children out on the streets parents at home.They rule their self. What kind of parent cannot control their kid.There are steps to take help to seek but they instead yurn a blind eye.Their kids should make them the victims instead of yhe civilians in st.lucia.They are incompetent to be parents. In some countries their kids would be taken from them and they would be arrested.Its high time parents govto prison for not paying attention to their children,they tl should syffer the consequences, period.

Smh!

My very bright nation, you got what you were looking for… Allen Chastanet. After 5 years of THAT you will understand your selves for the next 50 years. I love you Allen because the Allen Chastanet MISTAKE had to have happened for us to understand ourselves.

Can someone please take time off to document the lies. I will state the first two immediately are elections. I signed a paper on my desk to bring down the price of gas. We came into office and found contracts that were signed one week before elections.

I am on no side of this slp/uwp thing. But I see nothing wrong with the elected Prime Minister coming back to correct himself. Had he been in denial that he never said that or that what he said was right, it would be another problem. It must take some guts to come back and say “okay what I SHOULD have said was XYZ” not “what I actually meant by that was xyz”. There’s a bit of a difference there.

And i will say it again……too many underage..mothers in st.lucia…the hospital should be responsible for letting the so called police force…(who prefere to turn a blind eye on that matter) and persecute who ever is responsible…then again welcome to st.lucia where anything goes.

Am so anoid at some people when will we speak not putting the prime minister in it or members of parliament am a strong labour supporter I am from and SLP constituency I have accepted that my party did not win and called it a chance to see what that government can do better when I know they can’t the Bible have spoken which is the words of God people the topic is about parents who neglect children having them doing what they want why stray away from the topic and hitting the prime. Minister that’s no sense give the man a chance to do his work let the people who voted him in to see that there is no different but give the man a chance and let’s see what we can do to save our children to making them better so we can have a better nation stop pointing fingers because some of us our business more dirty we cannot work miracles but we want another to stop that foolish attitude people.

But to correct the future and have less deplorables, the country needs to help pregnant women before and after giving birth. The woman’s situation and mood decides on the level of consciousness of the Soul that she eventually attracts for the baby.

It is in everybody’s interest, and it takes a village to raise a child.

Be responsible for your own life choices

Really…he didn’t get her pregnant did he? This is why I make the statement often…people behave as if the Government is the baby’s father in their relationships…if you can’t take responsibility for your own body and a child that may come about after having unprotected sex…why is it the Government’s fault if she..the woman…has post natal depression ..it’s the responsibility of the father. ..family and close friends… so if it’s a child gets pregnant..who isn’t educated at school or in life…iftsts a case of picking up the broken pieces….but it’s like shutting the stable door after the colt has bolted…same as crying over our young men being killed in the street so horribly after they have made their life choice of criminality of its different kind…by then it’s too late for them ..for their friends and families and teachers and community members just counting them as a statistic.😢😢😢😢😢

And you know something…remember how we warned you about The NutCase, Evil Chastanet, and you can clearly see we were right…likewise we’ve been warning you about DSH, and you refuse to take heed…I wish the DSH would go on, for you to see the consequences of your actions again.
You Ex-Slaves refuse to listen. You will feel.
